Salesforce is the #1 platform for nonprofits. Start where you are. Grow where you need.
For over a decade, nonprofits have trusted Salesforce's Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) to serve as the foundation of their data infrastructure. Since 2009, it has delivered a powerful starting point for thousands of organizations.
Then came 2023. Salesforce unveiled Nonprofit Cloud (NPC) — a sophisticated, enterprise-grade solution built on the Industry Cloud. It’s robust, scalable, and packed with features.
What Does Your Organization Need Next?
As more options for nonprofits become available, many nonprofits are asking the important question:
What’s the best next step for us?
For some, enhanced functionality and deeper platform investment make sense now. For others, a lighter, more flexible approach may be a better fit for their current size, strategy, and stage of growth.
That’s why we developed a solution designed to support your organization right now, while keeping future options open.
Whether you're preparing to grow into more advanced tools or looking for a stable, long-term configuration—our accelerator provides a strong foundation, built entirely on Salesforce.
It’s about having the right solution for today, with room to grow tomorrow—and knowing you’ve got a partner to help make it work.
The Nonprofit Accelerator (NPA) provides a lean and modular solution built on Salesforce’s core architecture. It offers organizations a flexible stepping stone as they transition from NPSP or consider future options like the Nonprofit Cloud (NPC).
Some organizations may choose to move from NPA to NPC over time, while others may find that NPA’s customizable and modular design continues to support their needs effectively without requiring an enterprise-level upgrade.
By focusing on core principles of flexibility, customization, and scalability, NPA enables organizations to adopt a solution tailored to their unique goals and resources—allowing them to move forward at their own pace.


The Idlewild Nonprofit Accelerator (NPA) is your all-in-one solution for managing development operations right inside Salesforce. Purpose-built for nonprofit teams, NPA helps you streamline constituent engagement, donation and grant tracking, campaign execution, program delivery, and case management—without needing a custom build or a team of developers.
Designed entirely on Salesforce’s native platform, NPA simplifies the way your team works—so you can focus more on impact and less on systems.
At Idlewild, we believe your CRM should evolve with your organization. That’s why the NPA is built using a scaffolding approach:
Start with what you need today. Add what you need tomorrow.
The Nonprofit Accelerator provides your core infrastructure—constituents, donations, campaigns, and reporting. From there, expand at your own pace with additional Idlewild accelerators.
For some organizations, that path may include a future transition to Salesforce’s Nonprofit Cloud (NPC). NPA lays a strong foundation on core Salesforce architecture, making it easier to scale when you’re ready—or stay with a solution that’s fully tailored to your long-term needs.
Selecting the best-fit platform—whether Nonprofit Cloud (NPC), Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), or Idlewild’s Nonprofit Accelerator (NPA)—is a pivotal step toward a successful implementation. Because every organization is unique, the “right” choice depends on factors like your business processes, budget, and in-house technology support.
